I mean what are their choices? Either become a prostitute or spend your life behind a buffalo in the rice fields.

You don't have to be 100% sure that they would be better off, it's about the morality of your own personal choices. If you willingly choose to exploit someone, the fact that they might be worse off otherwise doesn't make your action any better.
Compare it to the following situation:
You know that there's a group of men after some woman, and you know that they will find her in about two hours and first gangrape her, then torture her to death. Now, you're a good guy, so you decide to do something about it: you find her yourself, rape her just once, then shoot her through the head.
Undoubtedly, she's better off that way, yet what you did was still wrong. That's because you are responsible for your own actions, not for the actions of others.
